Searching for unknown words is a common interactional practice of learners in EFL classrooms.

Zia Tajeddin; Jaber Kamali – Language Teaching Research Quarterly, 2023
Interactional competence has recently gained considerable attention in language education.

However, there is no survey tool to measure teachers' classroom interactional competence. To bridge this gap, the…

This article draws on an online survey to collect data about the perceptions of Moroccan secondary school teachers of English in connection with their use of translation in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teaching and learning settings.

Nimet Çopur; Adam Brandt – Classroom Discourse, 2024
The interactional roles of smile and laughter have been widely explored in both institutional settings and mundane talk (e.g. Holt 2016; Potter and Hepburn 2010). However, the role of one specific kind of smile, what we call a 'squeezed-mouth smile' (SMS), remains unexamined. Using CA, this study explores one teacher's use of SMS in response to…

Dialogic instruction, a form of instruction that engages students in meaningful and substantive classroom dialogue, has been shown to benefit students in many ways. However, few studies on dialogic instruction have focused on the role and agency of classroom teachers as they navigate and negotiate the vagaries of classroom talk, especially in…

Kevin W. H. Tai – International Journal of Bilingual Education and Bilingualism, 2024
Prior research on classroom interaction has investigated how the teacher's feedback turn following students' responses can be used to transform students' turns into academic expressions during whole class discussions. Nevertheless, more empirical studies are needed to explore how teachers' translanguaging practices can play a role in shaping…

Robbie Lee Sabnani – Language Teaching Research Quarterly, 2024
Despite the importance of speaking in developing learners' command of language, due to a paucity of research in the domain, little is understood of teachers' systematic strategy instructional practices to improve the quality of their students' utterances.

Thomas Zapounidis; Marina Mattheoudakis – Journal of Educational Research and Innovation, 2024
This article highlights the need for a new type of corpus that will combine both a learner and a pedagogic corpus. The need for such a type of corpus is underlined by the interaction between input and output and the expected impact of the former on the latter within all instructional settings. Such a corpus will allow us to collect data, including…
